In depth
Verdict
A poor finale in which Prince Of Persia is one to note on his reappearance after a long break though his form was moderate in his first campaign. Chinese Spirit managed to win his sixth race at Carlisle last month and his run at Ayr three days later may have come too soon. ACOUSTIC showed little before a better effort on his handicap debut at Wetherby where he would have finished much closer but for losing ground at the start. He had Copperline behind and can confirm the form and get off the mark.
